I thought those wheels did not look like they were turning very far but it didn't look like it was hitting. If you can't find a torch let me know I could probably grab one or a plaz cutter for a few hours. No problem with the help and it worked out good cause we got to pick up the trailer from Tony.

Yeah Tony...Grinding stuff off of the truck is a good thing. You have to GRIND off the rivets to install a drop kit also. You do the same GRINDING to install a lift kit from what I hear. GRINDING is just part of Modding your truck. SO GRIND away.

But then again a plasma cutter would be very helpful for installing a air bag set up. Those plasma cutters are nice. Keeps you from having to do alot of GRINDING. Well....unless your looking for a completely smooth surface. Then you have to GRIND and GRIND and GRIND to get it smooth...

lol I was! GRINDING away at the back of the sheet metal screws that I used to help hold some stuff down. Best of all I was GRINDING at night. It was cool to watch the sparks from the GRINDER in the dark. My little B&D angle GRINDER is the best investment I've made tool wise. Everyone should have a GRINDER!

This thread is making me sick. My ears are still ringing from the noise of 2 elec. grinders, 1/4" air grinder, and the compressor. Not to mention the fumes from the galvanization mixed with the paint fumes will give ya a killler headache.
